Episode 185 - Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre and Guy Ritchie's The Covenant
As the end of 2023 approaches, Not A Bomb has decided to go out with a bang. On this week’s show, we discuss not one but two bombs by the same director, Guy Ritchie. This was a rough year at the box office for Mr. Ritchie. Both Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre and Guy ritchie’s The Covenant didn’t make their production budget back during their theatrical run. Critics definately liked one movie over the other. And audiences, who did see the films, liked both.
We couldn’t take on two films in one show without some help. Nate, friend and family member, jumps on to share his thoughts on Guy Ritchie’s filmography and help us decide if these two films deserve more attention.
If that wasn’t enough, we also reveal our 5 best and worst films of the year. Brad followed the instructions. Troy did his own thing. Nate gives everybody a shock with his take on Jackie Chan’s Ride On. You are going to get a lot of recommendations from these lists!
We also want to take a minute and thank all of you for an amazing year and all of the wonderful support. We are truly humbled by our community and appreciate all the feedback.
